more beanies

beanie fever has got me again...patterns are running in my head and before i finish a project i already  make changes along the way and try new ideas i'm just enable to laid on paper...yet to come hopefully.(?? i never know what tomorrow brings-addiction or abandon)..i love that freedom but hate when i want a replica and  can't do it...i blame my rhapsodic spirit that always drives me with itself.feels so good thought :)
here is what i'm talking about-it all started with the need for a new simple beanie for my son and still continues..........i;ve made about 8-9 beanies in these past 30 days...so cool me down,i'm burning!

this is the needed hat,30% wool/70 %acrylic yarn used.it worked out really fast.

this supposed to be a shawl to match with hat but didn't liked how it was coming out (moss stitch?) so i've rennunced and undone ....

.....are you playing?

yes,you've figured out it is a weird game(lol)but anyway i won after all

i've played all my spots,bye

Granny stitch beanies

While ago i made a beanie using the granny stitch(not knowing its name then)following no patterns and i liked the result.Yesterday i made two beanies of same kind with slight modifications on each one regarding the increasing rounds and writted down the pattern.I will take the time to write it down if anyone interested but first i make another trial.It is not difficult at all and it goes quite fast.You can see a picture with the basics of the hat.I guess it speaks for itself.The next rounds are the increasing rounds-i opted for 2 granny groups of 3 dc increases each of the following 4 rounds. When reached 20 grannie groups of 3dc's , ended up with 5 rows with no increase.This is an adult woman size beanie while the pink one has only 19 granny groups so it is a bit smaller.See how it looks like on my little one 4.5 year old boy model(lol).Also started to work some puff flowers- after i learned the stitch from my mother who was an avid knitter and crocheter but not anymore as she lost interest and doesn't saws very well.
Hats were made with 4ply yarn (i guess-i never know for sure as it is not mentioned) and hook nr 4.5.

This will be a headband with the puff flower.I used my tunisian crochet hook(actually i have a whole set of tunisian hooks bought for 8 usd-from nr.3 up to nr10)made of bambus and  felt a bit unconfortable due to my dry hands but i can crochet much faster with it than with a regular plastic or aluminium one.So i'm very pleased with the accuisition.

 

This beanie is still a wip but not for too long ;)
